My problem is twofold and I'm not even sure what technology combo I should be using. I have a intranet application that uses ASP on the server (accessing Oracle) and HTML, Javascript on the client.
I firstly need to create a page with a list of the clients attached printers in a drop down. Can I do that with VBScript? If so how? If not can anyone suggest a way to do it?
Secondly, I need the ASP to print to the selected client printer i.e. the file is retrieved from the server so the call has to go back for some ASP processing before it can be printed. I figure I need a DLL or ActiveX object that the file to be printed to is passed to? Has anyone done anything similar?
I know this isn't particularly safe or probably easy for that matter. Any pointers would be gratefully appreciated.
